Pets can have very beneficial effects on their owners. They're
stimulating, entertaining, and can even improve the general health and
well-being of an owner, such as lowering blood pressure or relieving
stress. As humans, we often seek companionship and we find that easily
in the pet-owner relationship. Before getting a new pet, though, there
are several things we should think about first.

Pffft! Not my pets, they stress me out. I'm always worrying about
them.

Uuuummmm, I don't want to be rude but does this person realize what
newsgroup he is posting on?  If he is a person that has been here longer
than I have he should know the ages of some of these cats.  Some of you
could send him copies of vet bills that would show him that.......awwww
well.

OTOH, I thought he was wasting his time, preaching to the
already converted! Most cat (and dog) lovers already KNEW
it, even before scientists started amassing all the evidence
proving the health-promoting benefits of pet-ownership.
Consequently, it is no longer difficult to find "retirement"
homes that allow residents to bring their pets when they
move in.  (So long as the resident is able to care for the
animal, or has someone else willing to do so, most places
now allow pets.)

Yes, pets can have a beneficial effect upon us.  Until the lazy snots
forget to clean out the litter boxes, put down gooshy food, or rinse
out the water fountain.  Then they become stressful indeed.  However
you can find new and entertaining ways to punish them.  Especially if
you work in teams.  Be careful in selecting new owners.  First time
owners are ok, so long as they don't have miniature hoomins running
around.  They don't know enough to keep you safe.  Repeat hoomins with
small hoomins are a little better, at least you can train them.
Raising a miniature hoomin into proper slavedom is a rewarding, though
frequently fustrating experience.  A cat must be willing to sacrifice
and donate fur upon occasion.  Worse is getting them to remember to
come up with the eats.  We can get our food, but we have to train them
properly to give us hoomin food, especially the sacred ham.
